Understanding DNA Structure and Function

This document outlines the procedures for a lesson on DNA structure. The lesson begins with an introduction and review of key terms like gene and chromosome. Students then participate in activities to build the word "DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID" and sort DNA bases into pairs. The teacher leads a discussion on the four DNA bases and their pairing according to Chargaff's rule. Students then work in groups to build a physical DNA model. The lesson concludes with an evaluation and assignment for students to draw a family tree.

Content Standard demonstrates understanding of the process of DNA replication

makes a concept map summarizing how heritable characteristics


Performance Standard can be observed in an organism’s phenotype (molecular or
organism level)
I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson the learners will be able to:
1. define key terms associated with the structure of DNA
2. construct a model of the structure of the DNA molecule
3. explain the structure of the DNA

II. SUBJECT MATTER


Topic : DNA
Reference : Science for in innovative mind 10
Materials : marker, typewriting, and DNA parts, glue
Valuing : Appreciate how does DNA observe
Integration : Values
III. PROCEDURE
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY LEARNER’S ACTIVITY
A. Preliminary
 Prayer “Oh God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit,
did instruct the hearts of the faithful grant that
the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise
and ever enjoy His consolations. Through
Our Lord. Amen.”

 Greetings
Good afternoon class Good afternoon, Sir

 Classroom management
Before you sit, please check your chair The student arranges and check some papers
if there are some papers and pick it up in their chair

 Checking of Attendance
Class, who is your secretary? Please The secretary will report the present and
submit to me who are absent and absent
present today

 Review
Class did you remember what is gene? Yes, sir
What is gene? Sir, a unit of heredity which is transferred
from a parent to offspring and is held to
determine some characteristic of the
offspring.

Very good, let’s give mommy Donesia 123, 123 very good, very good
clap

What is chromosome? Sir, a chromosome is made up of proteins and


DNA organized into genes. Each cell
normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Very good,
B. Motivation
“BUILDING WORD”
Class, this time we will have a group
activity

Mechanics of the group activity:


 The teacher will divide the class
into 2 groups
 The teacher distributes letters that
contains the letter of
DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID
to the group
 Each group given 1 minute to find
out what the word to construct
 First group to build the word
DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID
win the game.

DOEYXIROBUNLCIEC DCIA DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID

C. Activity
Class, please remain in your chair
because we have another activity.
“FIND ME”
 Teacher provides a box that contains
29 pieces rolled small paper that
indicates the name of the four bases of
DNA the adenine, thymine, cytosine,
and guanine
 Every student will draw from the box
 Then, those who pick adenine will
find the same name adenine the same
as the thymine, cytosine, and guanine
 After they find their group, adenine
and thymine will join together, the
same as the guanine and cytosine

Class, what do you observe in our Sir, the adenine and thymine are group
activity? together and the same as the group of guanine
and cytosine

What do you think the role of adenine, Sir, they are important parts of the DNA
thymine, guanine, and cytosine?

Very good, let’s give mommy donesia 123, 123, very good, very good
clap

D. Analysis/Discussion
Class, are you familiar with the DNA? Answer may vary

The previous activity is connected to


our lesson for today

The name of the group you have are


all important in our DNA

What DNA stands for? Sir, its stand for DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC


ACID

What is the definition of DNA? It is the carrier of genetic information


Very good,

Did you already see a DNA model? Answer may vary

Can anyone describe the physical Sir, it is like a ladder


appearance of the DNA model? What
its look like?

Very good, let’s give mommy donesia


clap

Did you confuse what is meant by the Answer may vary


representation of some colors in the
model?
Okay, today you will better
understand the structure of the DNA
The backbone of the DNA is
composed of alternating deoxyribose
sugars and phosphate. The rungs of
the ladder are the nucleotide bases.

What do you think class the four bases Sir, the four bases of DNA are adenine,
of DNA? As what we have in our thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
activity

Very good,

There are four bases in DNA held by


the hydrogen bonds – adenine (A),
thymine (T), guanine (G), and
cytosine (C)b.

What do you think is the pair of Sir, it is always pair with thymine
adenines?

Very good,

How about the pair of Guanine? Sir, it is always pair with cytosine

Excellent,

Hence the Chargaff rule is formulated,


which states that adenine always pair
with thymine (A-T) and cytosine
always pairs with guanine (C-G)

E. Abstraction/Generalization
Class, did you learn something in our Yes, Sir
short discussion?

What is DNA Stand for? Sir, its stand for DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC


ACID

What is the definition of DNA? It is the carrier of genetic information

What are the four bases in DNA? Sir, the four bases of DNA are adenine (A),
thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).
What is the pair of Adenine? Sir, it is always pair with thymine

What is the pair of Cytosine? Sir, it is always pair with guanine

F. Valuing
How to improve your DNA in your Sir, by exercising every day, proper drinking
daily life? of water, regular eating and avoid viscous

G. Application
Class, go to your group, the group of
Adenine and thymine are count as one
group and the same as the guanine and
cytosine
 Teacher will distribute the The class will cooperate and build the DNA
broken parts of the DNA structure
structure; the group of
Adenine-Thymine and
Guanine-Cytosine will build
the structure of DNA in 5
minutes

IV. EVALUATION

Class, please prepare sheet of paper,


answer the questions

1. What DNA stand for? (5 pts.) DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID


2. It is the carries of genetic DNA
information. (3 pts.)
3. Enumerate the four bases of adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and
DNA. (12 pts.) cytosine (C).
V. ASSIGNMENT

Class, please copy assignment.


1. Draw a family tree in one bond paper, just write only the names of your
family members (pictures are not necessary).

Closing prayer “We gave you thanks Lord God Almighty for
all the benefits that you have given us, for you
who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.”
That’s all for today class!
Greetings
Good day class!
